- In Windows 7 and higher, in the directory C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\***.default. A folder with the default extension can have any numbers and letters in its name.

Now not only viruses cannot change the new tab, but also users.
In this regard, you can change the tab in two ways: standard means and third-party add-ons.
